Beechwood Lodge

Family-run naturist campground in the hills of the Pocono Mountains, in Pennsylvania, 34 acres about 40 km north of Allentown, open all year round. The atmosphere is informal: you are dressed when needed and nude when appropriate, but nudity is required in the pool and hot tubs. It welcomes families, couples and singles; for membership, single men and women are admitted in equal numbers, and those arriving alone are advised to call first to find out the rules for singles. At the heart of camp life are the heated indoor pool (seasonal) and two indoor hot tubs plus one outdoor, as well as a sauna, a tennis and pickleball court, sand volleyball, a gym and a children's play area. You can sleep in a tent, an RV or a caravan (sites with water and electricity) or in rustic motel-style rooms; breakfast and lunch can be had in the dining room. Pets are allowed on a lead near your site, not in common areas. The Appalachian Trail passes a few kilometres away and is visible from the camp, and there are on-site hiking trails; nearby there are lakes for fishing and canoeing and the Blue Mountain ski resort. On weekend evenings there is dancing in the "Cow Palace" common hall, and there are recurring themed events, including a "Woman to Women" event. The atmosphere is family-friendly, quiet and informal, as guests confirm.
